(1) The Honda Advanced Rider Training program (HART) finished in approximately 2002. A similar program the Right To Ride, Ride Right program ran from approximately October 2004 to September 2006.
(2) Due to frontline policing policies and the requirement to prioritise police trainers to train police members.
(3) The HART program was provided with some equipment by Honda. The Road Safety Council through the Police Road Safety Section provided funding of $50 000 that was primarily used for funding trained staff to run the event. The Right To Ride, Ride Right program was funded by a one-off grant of $16 000 from the Local Government Road Safety Grants Program that is administered by RoadWise on behalf of the Western Australian Local Government Association.
(4) Due to frontline policing policies the program has not been re-introduced.
